Micah Blunt is a retired American professional basketball player.

Background

The 6-9, 210-pound native of New Orleans was a product of Tulane University.

Basketball career

Blunt was the Los Angeles Lakers eighth round pick in the 1982 National Basketball Association (NBA) draft. He never made it to the Lakers roster with only first pick James Worthy, who work his way to earn a spot with the LA Lakers.

In 1983, Blunt made his debut in the English league with the Uxbridge club the Brunel Ducks. He tried his luck in two NBA camps the following year but neither the Lakers nor the Clippers bit. He returned to England and suited up for Plymouth in the second division in the 1984-85 season. Blunt averaged 6.5 points for the Evansville Thunder in the Continental league, and also played briefly for the Dijon team in France.

In 1986, Blunt ranked second in scoring in the English league, hitting a 30.1 clip for the Calderdale Explorers. He led Calderdale to the Prudential Cup semifinals but the Explorers lost an 81-77 decision to Portsmouth despite his team-high 22 points.
